Lord ELLeonottotiou, C. .L—That is, supposing he had no 6iwretion T to authorise torture or net., Mr.. DALLAS then, went into the ,authorities - of the Law of Nations, as, cited by' Lord Coke, in Culvin!s case, to shew, that upon taking possession. t,l 'a Colony by, cession orciptulation, that the terms. must be observed, and _that •outil.„the King inipOsed other laws„ the ancient laws wore to prevail 016 Colony, with the exception only hi. laws .against nature and the law of.

And here Mr. DALLAS freely admitted • what Mr. Not,or seemed to demand With a tri.; uniph, that .a 'Ail Englishmen going to Trinidad mu6t, be subject to Torture, if Torture' is the Law there tinder the old' Government." He then • contended that there was - no diamm in the law oholo', that in cast) of a conquered country the King _bad no newer to continue such a law. He then oticed the observations upon torture which had been cited float Fortescue de Legikus, and said that they - were taken from a chapter in which Fortescue states the inconvenience of trial by testimony of Witnesses,, and shows how-often they are suborned, and draws rather tufavourable conclusion towards the Civil Law which admits of torture. He then referred to Lord Coke, who gives the history'of the . Itack, was first lntrothiced into the ToWer b) the Duke of Exeter, and washence called the Duke of Exeter's Daughter, and says that the Duke : intended to introduce the Civil. Law. When lie Conies to speak of Torture itself, he says it is not the law of England, not .because. it is against the law of Cod, ,but because, having been of so recent intro duaioo, it is not the ,gene England from tiMe im metnorial.• Lord COke, how,•ver, said Mr. DALI,AS, is hut a had authority against torture for in the Countess of Sho-wsbury's case he makes a sort of complaint upon the lenity of Queen Elizabeth, that she had put no one to the rack in the earl of Essex's cast. Mr. DALLAS then referred. to the case of Feltuni in itushworth's CoticLl ens, to show that the opinion of the twelve Judges there v. , as`founded upon the same view of the case, namely, that it was illegal in Englimd only because it was nut autboriied by ancient custom. Mr. DALLAS then alluded to an argument adopted,. )))7 ML. GARROW, who, instead of citing cases or !authorities, referreitth none . during the argument,, but put what he called- a parallel case—saying the' King cannot authorise slavery in England, which is against the law, and every man is instantly free when he comes to England ; so neither eau he' by the law of England authorise torture. Now, • said Mr. DALLAS 1 adopt this parallel case,, and say, that although ' the King cannot authorise slavery here, yet where it has been lawful before, as - in the he has adopted it, and it is praised and allowed there still. • On the case of Fabrijas v. Martyr, Mr: DALLAS Cited the opinion of Lord Chiat' Justice. De Grey against torture in a conqttered Colony of Spain, but admitting that it was ;16:1inSt him, yet he said it was but.the ext ut-judieia 1 opinion of a single Judge, against which he had a legislative. authority.—At the Union of Scotland the civil .law obtained there, anti thatanthorised thelaw of torture. The Union to* place in I 706, and no provision being made with respca to torture, a moron was made in. the Corm 1110liS CollCertillig it; and a Bill . passed in 1708, for bidding torture mbocxercised alter a certain day.- - So that hero was a case Wherein a Country became! united With England, baving th law of torture pre vious, and yef it is cOntinued against-the authority of Lord Chief Justice De Grey, and the principles con teoded for by Mr. GAnaaw and Mr, N oLtN, " The Learned Counsel was going upon another head of argument, namely, bow far Governor Piaon was answerable for a jUdiCial aa'in a jndicial.capactiy, When be was stopped by T..0rd.41-esuottatiGit (Chief.luitiCe), who was ohliged toga to the Sittings at Guildhall.

WilliaM Horne and Stafford becante liankr9pts, and their Assignsci seized` on the distillery,. and sold it 'for the benefit of'their creditors. - Mr..Serjeant WILLIAMS, for the Plaintiff, and the ATTORNEY-GENEEAL, fur the Defendants, argued with their Usual ability-. The Court was Of opinion, that the Plaintiff ought to be 'paid for the aanal fixtures of the concern, as ‘t was couttnot, '‘u brewertes Or .aititillerles, to hire those aittcles., but all other (pods and articles that were not frantes ought to be sold miler the %Mute el Bankruptcy, although they were the aaual prop perry of the Plaintiff, because he was assisting the blitukrtipts in a frand,', by. holding out lb the public that .

Posseseitig this valuable - fund of knowledge, the Manager announces a play, for instance, !‘ Romeo and Juliet," and alt the' candidates for Theatrical fame are immediately apprised of the intended performance..., They alt flock to the Manager, each anxious to enacr a favourite part; and here com mences the.Manages' harvest., A grocer's appren , • tice in the Strand stilieitsthe honour of playing Ro meo, •but he is assured by the' Manager, that the play .has been cast SOeral days, and that Itonzeo . is promised to a neighbouring under a penalty of 31.
